ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 6 mushrooms, sliced
- 2 Japanese eggplants, skin left on, sliced

- 1 puff pastry sheet
directions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and gently sauté the onion, mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, capsicums, garlic and seasonings until softish, stirring occasionally.
- Place the tomatoes, olives, feta, basil and sautéed veggies into a bowl and toss well, then transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish.
- Cut a pastry sheet to fit the dish and place it on top of the vegetables. Tuck in the edges and cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the pastry is golden and has risen slightly .
- Allow the tart to cool a little and then invert it onto a large serving platter, so that the pastry is now on the bottom.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a main dish for brunch or lunch or as a side dish served with other Mediterranean dishes, in which case it would serve more than 4.

Good and easy and very adaptable as the poster states. I didn't have any Japanese eggplants so added a couple extra mushrooms. I did need to cook it for longer than stated but I may have used a larger pan than I should have. I also may not very familiar with puff pastry, so I am not sure how much it is supposed to be stretched. We enjoyed this wiht Country-style walnut and rosemary bread recipe#93088 and a tossed salad for a no-meat night. Thanks for sharing!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
